Rangers came from two goals down to defeat Falkirk 6-3. Win leaves Rangers within one point of Hearts in the title race.
Rangers' Comeback
Rangers produced a stunning comeback at Falkirk to remain firmly in the title race. They went 2-0 down before pulling back to win 6-3. It was the highest scoring match in the Scottish Premiership this season.
Rangers are back into second, a point behind leaders Hearts. Danny Röhl said, 'We brought ourselves some trouble in the first few minutes.'
Title Race Tightness
The Rangers comeback put the spotlight on the three-team title race. Hearts still lead Rangers by a point, with Celtic two further back. Rangers are currently five goals better off than Hearts.
The hierarchy of tie-breakers includes goal difference and head-to-head points. Only if all else was equal would a play-off come into play.
Play-Off Possibility
There is a scenario where the drama might not be over after the final ball. If teams finish dead level on all tiebreakers, a play-off would be used. The play-off scenario would require Celtic winning the final Old Firm game by two goals.
The other element would be that Hearts finish third. There is also the possibility that all three teams finish level on points.
Broadcast and Coverage
The match was broadcast live on Sky Sports Football. Sky Go customers could stream the game through the Sky Go app. The match took place at the Falkirk Stadium with a capacity crowd expected.
Rangers boss Danny Röhl acknowledged some minor injury worries. The side remained the firm favourites.
